Breakfast Protein Biscuits (Print Version)

Fluffy biscuits with Greek yogurt and protein powder bake in under 30 minutes for a protein-packed morning treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup whole wheat flour
02 - 1/2 cup almond flour
03 - 2 scoops unflavored or vanilla protein powder
04 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or 2%)
09 - 1/4 cup unsweetened milk (dairy or plant-based)
10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil
11 - 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, sea salt, and black pepper until thoroughly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and oil until smooth and uniform in consistency.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix the dough.
05 - Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese if using, distributing evenly throughout the dough.
06 - Scoop 8 equal portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape gently into rounded mounds without compacting the dough.
07 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until golden brown on top and firm to the touch when pressed lightly.
08 - Allow biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get 12 grams of protein per biscuit without any chalky aftertaste or strange texture
  • The dough comes together in under 10 minutes with ingredients you probably already have
  • They freeze beautifully so you can grab one on your way out the door
02 -
  • Overmixing the dough will make these tough and dense, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • The protein powder you choose affects the flavor dramatically so stick to unflavored or vanilla for best results
03 -
  • Let your ingredients come to room temperature before mixing for the most tender texture
  • Scoop the dough quickly once wet and dry meet to prevent the baking powder from activating too early
